With all the recent talk by Sir Richard Branson about decriminalising drugs, it made me think about the three big moments in my life which changed me, or even (if you like) opened my third eye.
In November 1988, I was in NYC with a friend who was doing some modelling work out there. She gave me a tab of 'Californian sunshine' acid, telling me it was from the Sixties.
Intrigued but not really thinking much more of it we took a half each - chaos ensued! She spent the night walking over cars in the Bowery before we ended up together in a white bath in a white bathroom. Of course, by 4am it seemed like a good idea to do the other half. By 7am I was having a religious experience on the floor as she cried her eyes out.
The drug I took was called spectrum. Its main compounds were MDMA and molecules of DMT (Dimethyltryptamine). I took that drug and then, suddenly, I got acid house. That moment changed Creation Records. It was a gateway moment.
More...What people ingest is up to them, but for me it gave me access to creative worlds whilst running Creation that I would never have got to without the helping hand of the gods.
You only live once, but just maybe you could be living and experiencing 20 other planets at the same time. The only thing that's certain is we don't know...
